No they don't. At least those versions which come from Microsoft and not from your favorite torrent tracker/IT department. All Windows relesead after 2003 contain the .NET framework Common Language Runtime, but compilers are part of the SDK.
- aquark 16y agoActually the compiler is part of the framework runtime. This XP netbook I'm typing it on has it installed and is able to compile a C# executable out of the box. Still, it is a fairly academic argument since notepad + command line is a pretty poor dev environment in any os.
- borisk 16y agoRight, my bad.
- contextfree 16y agoWindows 7 also includes Powershell, which is a pretty capable dynamic language in its own right.
